  • Funnily enough, I looked up "Jerry" and it has a different origin, also biblical.

    Short form of Jeremiah or Jeremy, which are from the Hebrew Yirmiyahu meaning "sent by God" or "appointed by God".

  • Do animals have emotions like us?
  • https://www.reddit.com/r/veganuk/comments/zofsrh/comment/j0nku2i I apologize for this link to the "other" site, but I see lots of people parroting this argument, when the burden of proof that such crafted food actually exists and is available for consumers and any price point would be up to you.

    Also, I searched and could only find suggestions for https://www.biocraftpet.com/ which synthesizes meat from stem cells, I'm curious what your take is on this approach.

    Indeed, the cat appears to have less capability to adapt to most changes in dietary composition because it cannot change the quantities of enzymes involved in the metabolic pathways. This evolutionary development has resulted in more stringent nutritional requirements for cats than for omnivores such as the rat, dog, and man.

    Biologically, humans are omnivores. Your suggestion would work great with other omnivores. I'm all for balanced healthy humane diets for the animals we are responsible for feeding! But not to the point of neglect.

  • Maybe not sexual, but animals get outcasted/exiled from their groups for all sorts of reasons!

    Stolen from AI google response for wolf exile, as an example.

    • Aggression: If a wolf displays aggressive behavior towards other pack members, especially the alpha pair or other dominant wolves, it may be exiled to maintain harmony within the pack.

    • Injury or illness: Wolves that are injured or sick may be seen as a liability to the pack as they may not be able to keep up with the group or contribute to hunting effectively. In such cases, the pack may exile the weaker individual to ensure the survival of the rest of the group.

    • Reproductive competition: In some cases, subordinate wolves may challenge the alpha pair for dominance or breeding rights within the pack. If a wolf is unsuccessful in its attempts to challenge the alpha pair, it may be forced out of the pack.

    • Old age: Older wolves that are no longer able to keep up with the pack or contribute to hunting effectively may be pushed out of the group to ensure the pack's survival.

    • Genetic diversity: In some cases, wolves may be exiled to prevent inbreeding within the pack. Maintaining genetic diversity is important for the long-term health and survival of the pack.

    • Resource scarcity: If resources such as food become scarce, the pack may not be able to support all its members. In such situations, weaker or less dominant wolves may be forced out to reduce competition for resources.

    • Behavioral issues: Wolves that consistently display disruptive or antisocial behavior within the pack may be exiled to maintain social cohesion and hierarchy.

  • It's not a "moral" obligation, it's how their body actually processes and uses proteins and nutrients... you know, it's probably better for me to not engage here. Stop neglecting animals based on your own beliefs.

    Go get a rabbit for a pet instead.
